9:00-10:15 a.m. Methods Lectures I<br />
Bayesian D<strong>at</strong>a Analysis<br />
Room 180<br />
Simon Jackman<br />
Abstract: Bayesian d<strong>at</strong>a analysis uses Bayes’ Theorem to upd<strong>at</strong>e beliefs about parameters and hypotheses based<br />
on d<strong>at</strong>a. The lecture reviews conceptual distinctions between Bayesian and (conventional) frequentist inference,<br />
emphasizing the conceptual simplicity of the Bayesian approach. Practical examples from social science also<br />
demonstr<strong>at</strong>e the utility of Bayesian inference.<br />
Sp<strong>at</strong>ial St<strong>at</strong>istics and GIS<br />
Room 95<br />
P<strong>at</strong>ricia Carbajales<br />
Abstract: This lecture will provide an overview to sp<strong>at</strong>ial st<strong>at</strong>istics and “geographic inform<strong>at</strong>ion systems” (GIS). It<br />
will discuss the basics of GIS software, d<strong>at</strong>a models, shapefiles, geod<strong>at</strong>abases, earth reference systems, projections,<br />
visualiz<strong>at</strong>ion, and sp<strong>at</strong>ial analysis.<br />
Bureau of Justice St<strong>at</strong>istics<br />
Room 90<br />
Thomas Cohen<br />
Abstract: This lecture will provide an overview of core d<strong>at</strong>a collection activities rel<strong>at</strong>ed to st<strong>at</strong>e and federal<br />
courts by the Bureau of Justice St<strong>at</strong>istics. The lecture will cover several topics, including: (1) the processing<br />
and sentencing of felony defendants in st<strong>at</strong>e courts; (2) d<strong>at</strong>a on civil litig<strong>at</strong>ion in st<strong>at</strong>e court systems; (3) the<br />
organiz<strong>at</strong>ional characteristics of courts, prosecutors, and indigent defenders; (4) the disposition of criminal<br />
appeals; and (5) the Federal Justice St<strong>at</strong>istics Program linked d<strong>at</strong>a file.<br />
10:30-11:45 a.m. Methods Lectures II<br />
Modern Trends in D<strong>at</strong>a Mining<br />
Room 95<br />
Trevor Hastie<br />
Abstract: As their ability to capture and organize large amounts of d<strong>at</strong>a increases, organiz<strong>at</strong>ions rely more on<br />
d<strong>at</strong>amining technology to learn from this valuable resource. We will give several examples of this process, based<br />
on our own experiences. This lecture will give a brief overview of some of the most promising new methods for<br />
”supervised” learning, including the lasso, random forests, boosting, and support vector machines.<br />
Internet Surveys<br />
Room 90<br />
Douglas Rivers<br />
Abstract: This lecture will provide an overview of recent developments in internet surveys. It will consider the<br />
advantages and disadvantages of internet surveys rel<strong>at</strong>ive to other modes (such as phone, mail, and face-to-face).<br />
Recent developments for sample selection, m<strong>at</strong>ching, weighting and modeling d<strong>at</strong>a with non-response and selfselection<br />
will be described, along with applic<strong>at</strong>ions to elections, public policy and consumer choice.<br />
